Jon Pattie - Paper Plane

At ten years old I built a paper plane
To take me to a better place
I whispered dreams inside with hopeful eyes
To sing them high up in the sky
Oh wind, please, take me away

Higher and higher these fragile wings climb
Slipping and shaking in the stormy light
Once I reach the peak who knows what I'll be
So higher and higher these fragile wings climb
'til I touch the sky

At twenty three I’ve packed up all my things
Left my nest to spread my wings
Make new friends while others say goodbye
As I sing high up in the sky

Higher and higher these fragile wings climb
Slipping and shaking in the stormy light
Once I reach the peak who knows what I'll be
So higher and higher these fragile wings climb
'til I touch the sky

At fifty five I’ll see what I have made
Flying in a better place
A family of blood and one of belief
All built on paper wings
Oh, wind, please take me away

Higher and higher these fragile wings climb
Slipping and shaking in the stormy light
Once I reach the peak who knows what I'll be
So higher and higher these fragile wings climb
'til I touch the sky

At ten years old I built a paper plane
To take me to a better place
